This event is in the past.

Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground's well-filled carnivalesque soundscapes reflect the fact that, while they're officially a three-person gig, up to 11 other musicians have been known to join the Seattle band onstage. Cutesy ragtime piano-playing lies beneath ever-progressing layers of violin, percussion, and even tuba. Lead vocalist/guitarist Kirk Huffman employs a guitar that artfully treads the line between overwhelmingly sexy and vaguely poppy, recalling—dare I say it—the Beatles, among other '60s flower-power projects. Gracing Kay Kay on stage will be progressive rock act the Dear Hunter, the blood, mind, and soul-child of Casey Crescenzo, former member of the Receiving End of Sirens. Taking a break from his psychologically epic six-part concept album, Crescenzo recently released The Color Spectrum, an overwhelming nine-EP anthology, with each EP meditating on a particular color.
